10. The two road not taken
-Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both And
be one traveler, long I stood And
looked down one as far as I could To
where it bent in the undergrowth;

11. The two road not taken
-Robert Frost
The took the other, as just as fair, And
having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

12. The two road not taken
-Robert Frost
And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step
had trodden black. Oh, marked the first for another
day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted
if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with
a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads
diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled
by And that has made all the difference.

13. Vocabulary
Claim Demand on right
Diverged Branched off
Fair Promising; favorable
Hence From this time
Trodden Walked on
Undergrowth Small trees and plants growing
beneath larger trees
